A Plush Grill Set for Baby Grill Masters

Before you have kids you think the weird toys will be the ones that don't look like anything in particular - the toys that just rattle, have a lot of black and white stripes and seem to have the sole purpose of being put in a baby's mouth. But as it turns out, the truly strange baby toys are the things that are supposed to be things in your life that you never thought someone would make into a toy. Case in point - My First Grill Baby Activity Toy from Russgril.

Baby Molos: The Lobster That's Cute Enough to Pinch

Maybe it's the Cloverfield monster that's been occupying my brain all weekend, but Molos here ($20) looks more like some kooky outer-space creature than the lobster it's supposed to be. Either way, babies should go gaga for the googly-eyed, fuzzy-pincered (and, thankfully, machine-washable) critter, part of the same Deglingos line Kelly first featured here back in August.

DwellStudio's got (Magnetic) Animal Attraction

This set of three magnetic animals appeals to me aesthetically much moreso than the retina-searing PlajaPets, though they're a similar concept. Thankfully, Dwell does it up right with modern fabrics and a just two pieces per animal (there's a hippo, an elephant, and a rhino which looks suspiciously pig-like). Safe for even the littlest ones, but you'll probably find yourself playing with them, too. $46 at Land of Nod.

Baby Wants a Laptop... an Infantino Gigglebytes Laptop

Had this been around when my kids were babies, I feel certain I would've received half a dozen of them as gifts from friends who like to poke at my near-surgical attachment to my computer. (I don't know what their problem is. I can stop any time I want to. I just need to check Google for one more thing....) Infantino's Gigglebytes is a fun baby activity toy styled after mom's favorite toy, only this one's lights and sounds never signal a crash, and is overall a whole lot cuter. Get it at Amazon for $19.99.

Kidz Delight Zig Zag Zog UFO Will Run Baby Ragged

Something just felt terribly familiar as I read about this Zig Zag Zog UFO Saucer ($30 at Kiddly Winks) -- bop the alien on the head and he zooms away, LEDs flashing, and then he zooms around the room, detecting obstacles and going around them and u-turning and stopping unexpectedly. Baby will sleep well at night after chasing this, sure... but then I finally figured it out.

This is a what happens when you let your cat's electronic mouse toy mate with your Roomba.

Big Deal: Lead-Free, Educational Toys!

What more could you ask for? Readers of Karly's Wiping Up Snot blog will be happy to know they can shop at eBeanstalk, using the code SNOT (what?) in order to save 10% off their orders AND free shipping! eBeanstalk tests all their toys and proved it to Karly in a document she posted on her site.

I like the site because it lists the toys in age categories, like this Super Shapes Dump Truck for $37, listed under the 1 Year-Old's section. Baby learns cause and effect, and not the kind where if you chew your toys, you'll get very sick.

Prove the experts wrong and go have a shower while baby rocks it out with the 9 activities on board this tiny ship of fun. After a few sessions, he should be able to tackle your tax return.

Squeak Easy Toys For Itty Bitty Hands

Available in 6 animal designs, these little guys look easy to hold and even easier to tote in a purse or diaper bag. Too bad they don't come as a 6 pack, because with all that traveling, they are bound to find themselves relocated against their will. Babies can be so careless. Sheesh.

$5.95 each at Rich Frog. (scroll all the way to the bottom to order)
